The Pennies for Patients program is part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s fundraising efforts and offers students the chance to help children with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma by collecting spare change. With the support of our very generous Bannes families, this year's Student Council drive raised an impressive $5088.97.
Mrs. Laricy's classroom won an Olive Garden catered lunch and because students reached their all-school fundraising goal, Mr. Callaghan wore a shark onesie, was duct tapped to the wall, AND took a pie in the face from the student who raised the most money.
